Chrysler first to offer Sirius Backseat TV as factory option

Chrysler has teamed up with Sirius Satellite Radio to be the first automaker to offer Sirius Backseat TV as a factory option for the 2008 model year. The satellite television service is geared for children with regular programming from Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, and Cartoon Network.The service will be offered on all of Chrysler's 2008 Town & Country and Grand Caravan models, all of which have optional ceiling-mounted displays for viewing the programming. Backseat TV uses a satellite video receiver that is mounted inside the vehicle in conjunction with two roof antennas and can be used on the second or third row seating displays found in Chrysler's minivan lineup even while front seat occupants listen to satellite radio programming. While the vehicle is in Park, the video feed can be displayed on the front-mounted MyGIG screen as well.When packaged with the Rear Seat Entertainment System and Sirius Satellite Radio, Backseat TV costs $470 including the first year of service. Thereafter, service is $7 per month when bundled with regular Sirius Satellite Radio programming. There will doubtless be many parents who will find the system cost effective after just the first day of this summer's family road trip.

Drop the first 470 cost and add it to one of ur dealer incentives and charge the 7 dollars included on the price of every single minivan sold without telling them. Jack up the price a lil and tell them it comes complete with satelite tv, ull kill them all.
